The chromatographic behaviour of 25 aliphatic mono- and polyamines has been investigated on layers of silanized silica gel alone and impregnated with anionic and cationic detergents. The influence of the percentage of detergent and of the apparent pH of the eluent on the retention mechanism has been studied. Ion exchange and/or partition contribute to the retention of the amines. Many separations of mono- and polyamine mixtures have also been carried out by two-dimensional technique.
